Character Artists Sought (Patreon)

Hi everyone, you might have seen my post on YouTube about moving away from using generative AI for creative work, in particular character art. While I love the characters I've come up with, I really want to be able to give back to the artistic community by hiring artists to draw the charming characters for my stories and thumbnails.

Are you an artist? Do you know any character artists who might be interested in drawing character art for the channel? I'll be putting my literal money where my mouth is and paying fair rates for all characters. Given that I need on average anywhere from 30-50 characters a year, I imagine I'll need to have a number of artists on deck.

Anyway, if you or anyone you know might be interested, please have them send their details and a portfolio (or link to work samples) to art@thebearboss.com. Note that I will not be accepting submissions that use generative AI.

I'll be making a full statement on the use of generative AI for art soon just to make my position clear.
